Part of Austin's 78702 zip code, Swede Hill is on the National Registry of Historic Places. Founded by Swedish immigrants in the 1870s, original homes went up between 1880 and 1930. The University of Texas at Austin and Interstate 35 claimed part of the community, and what remains today lies just east of Interstate 35 between East 12th Street and East Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard.

A diverse neighborhood with varied architecture, Swede Hill homes for sale range from early 1900s Victorians to modern designs from the late 1990s and 2000s. Floor plans are as distinct as the architecture, with 2-bedroom cottages of 700 square feet neighboring 5-bedroom modern luxury homes of 4,200 square feet. Historic charm and modern finishes mingle beautifully in this quaint East Austin community.

Lots of a quarter acre or less are lush with towering oaks and pecans. Columned porches look out on fountains and gardens, many enclosed by wrought-iron fences. With notable architecture, downtown views, and a prime East Austin location, Swede Hill homes for sale are a unique real estate option.
